The temple was built in front of Tyn - - a fenced place for settling carts and determining the amount of duties from foreign traders who came to trade in Prague. It was demolished a long time ago, but the name remained.
This cathedral in Prague is the most important religious building on the right bank of the Vltava. Visible in any weather from anywhere in Prague, the two sharp towers of the Tyn Church rise above the red roofs of houses and, thanks to additional towers, resemble the two crowns of Prague. This monument is the decoration of the Old Town Square and the entire Czech capital.
The pediment of the basilica impresses with its strict Gothic beauty, above the tympanum is a statue of the Madonna in a halo, and above the facade rise two 80-meter towers, built at different times. If you look closely, you can see that the towers are asymmetrical, this is typical of the Gothic style. Both towers are crowned by balustrades and corner turrets, which make the temple look like a fairy-tale decoration.
